The future of the Xu family is in Lu Jingheng's hands. Xu Rubao silently puts her hands, which have been stepped on and turned red by Xia Zimo, behind her back.
“Ah Heng, look at her, she can’t even handle such a small thing. Why don’t we choose again at the old house? I think it would be better to let Aunt Ji come over. She’s been in the Lu family for so many years, and she always manages things perfectly. Besides, she’s an excellent cook.”
Aunt Ji is almost fifty years old, so Xia Zimo is naturally not worried that Lu Jingheng will fall in love with her.
This Xu Rubao may be a bit ugly, but he's young. What if he takes the opportunity to rise to power?
Therefore, Xia Zimo felt it would be better to replace her, as it would save her a lot of trouble.
Lu Jingheng glanced at Xu Rubao, his brows furrowing slightly. The little wildcat was his person, and it was none of anyone else's business whether she was good or bad.
"Go inside and get busy, we don't need you here."
Xu Rubao nodded slightly, picked up her schoolbag, and walked towards the kitchen.
This time, she dared not put her schoolbag in a conspicuous place again.
Xia Zimo noticed that Lu Jingheng's expression wasn't very good, and thought to herself that he must also be dissatisfied with that ugly girl.
She said she wanted to eat steak today; let's see how that ugly duckling's steak turns out.
If the food is bad and doesn't meet restaurant standards, she has a reason to criticize her.
Xu Rubao entered the kitchen and saw that her hands were bruised.
That woman is truly ruthless; she must be careful of her from now on.
She rinsed it with cold water, but at this point, she still couldn't do anything about it.
She first took out the beef to marinate, and there are specific methods for marinating beef.
Fortunately, she has a good memory. Although she only watched it once, she has already memorized the method and order of frying steak.
Xia Zimo rarely saw Lu Jingheng, so she naturally took the initiative to chat with him more.
He has always given people the impression of being cold and aloof.
She had always liked him, but she didn't dare to be too proactive, fearing it would offend him.
At least, over the years, she must have been the girl he talked to the most.
However, she also had her concerns about Lu Jingheng's health.
Rumors circulated that he was in poor health, but she didn't know the specific reason, and the Lu family couldn't find out either.
Normally, Lu Jingheng seems no different from a normal person.
However, she recently learned that the Lu family had assembled a top-notch medical team at the hospital, seemingly for his health.
If he is really fine, then why would the Lu family go to such lengths?
Perhaps she's just overthinking it.
"Ah Heng, you're free this afternoon, how about we go play golf together?"
Lu Jingheng felt that Xia Zimo was making a lot of noise here. His mother had a good relationship with the Xia family, which was why he had been tolerating Xia Zimo.
I have something to do this afternoon.
Xia Zimo was much more enthusiastic in response to Lu Jingheng's coldness.
By around 11:30, Xu Rubao had completed all her preparations, including preparing a fruit salad.
"Mr. Lu, Ms. Xia, the steaks are ready and can be cooked at any time. How well-done would you like them?"
She asked politely and courteously, as if she were a waitress in a restaurant.
“I want 70%, the same as Ah Heng’s.”
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Xu Rubao turned around and prepared to go to the kitchen to prepare.
"Stop right there!"
Xu Rubao suddenly heard Lu Jingheng's displeased voice, and she couldn't help but feel nervous, so she turned around.
"Mr. Lu, is there anything else you need?"
Lu Jingheng walked over, grabbed her hand, and looked at her red and swollen fingers. His face turned ashen.
What happened to your hand?
